Writing Center

Mission Statement

To amplify learner-centered strategies that support students in their academic growth, the Writing Center offers tutorials grounded in best practices for research, writing, and communication. Available services include tutorials on revising writing, analyzing research, public speaking, designing portfolios, and workshops on dissertation writing, publishing, and peer-reviewing.

UMaine’s Writing Center supports undergraduates and graduates across all disciplines. We are committed to providing learner-centered support through face-to-face consultations (since 1978) and online consultations (since 2016). Our services are free and available to all members of the UMaine community: students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members.

Our mission is to prioritize learner-centered approaches that amplify all voices and perspectives while fostering empowered relationships between writers and their work. Through peer-to-peer support and collaboration, we are committed to adapting to evolving writing technologies to create a welcoming, inclusive, and learner-centered environment. 

We are a safe space, dedicated to supporting your growth and success at UMaine. Visit our website to learn more about our staff, scheduling options, and how we can help you professionalize your potential today!
